Artist: Billy Bragg Song: Full English Brexit EP: Bridges Not Walls Year: 2017 [Intro] Am Am G D [Verse 1]
   G                             D
My neighbours don't drink at the local

        G                          D
Or have kippers for breakfast like me

    Am                           C
The food that they eat smells disgusting

       Am                       D
They'd rather drink coffee than tea
[Verse 2]
     G                          D
It's true that their kids are respectful

     G                         D
They gave me their seat on the bus

         Am                        C
But it's just that there's so many of them

       Am                       D
That I fear what will become of us
[Verse 3]
        Em            B
I'm not racist, all I want is

   C                            G  D
To make things how they used to be

    Em        B
But change is strange and

C                     G  D
Nobody's listening to me
[Verse 4]
  G                             D
I cheered when our side won the Cold War

       G                      D
Spread freedom and peace all around

            Am                        C
Now there's folks speaking Russian in Tesco's

       Am                         D
It's a shame the wall had to come down
[Verse 5]
  G                          D
I know some are fleeing from war zones

   G                              D
To keep their young children from harm

       Am                             C
But my parents stayed put through the Blitz years

    Am                  D
And me? I was sent to a farm
[Verse 6]
         Em              B
Yeah the sun shines, but sometimes

        C                        G   D
I don't feel like this is my country

       Em      B
But to say so? Oh no

  C                 G   D
I never get no sympathy
[Verse 7]
G                     D
Once we ruled over an empire

      G                         D
So it feels like some kind of defeat

      Am                         C
To comply with rules drawn up by strangers

    Am                    D
And measure in metres not feet
[Verse 8]
   G                       D
We don't want to go but by Jingo

      G                           D
If we can't be in charge, then we must

    Am                      C
But don't be offended, dear neighbour

         Am                     D
It's not you: this is all about us
[Verse 9]
         Em       B
But it's alright, alright

  C                      G  D
I think I've found a remedy

         Em                B
Yes it's alright, gonna be alright

       C                       G  D
It's a Full English Brexit for me
[Outro] Em B C G D
